Vacation rentals with a kayak in Essex County

Our family had a great time at Connie’s! The kids had loads to do in the game room and we all enjoyed the scenic views and relaxing environment. Bathrooms were also super clean. The refrigerator is enormous and was helpful because there aren’t too many food places around so we cooked a lot. Connie was responsive and friendly. We would recommend her place!

It ought to be a collection of Such's and So's. Such a nice place and so quiet. So well decorated with taste and quality materials. Such a relaxing spot so close to the water. So so so good cookies and muffins. And last but not least, so nice people. Very lively and cheerfull Tanya, very calm, quiet and peacefull John (still amazed, 40 years later and apparently, by his wife who may still have more energy than any soldier he faced throughout his carreer . Is there any use to add we enjoyed very much being there and highly recommend the Birds nest ? Daniel

So cozy, so comfortable and quiet, especially my 4.5 yo son loved the place (mostly because of the s’more, he ate a lot :) ) Unfortunately due to weather and water temperatures we couldn’t have fun with the paddle board or kayaks but still have found so much fun activities. It was also very clean.

This was our fourth time staying at this wonderful property, and it never disappoints! The house is clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated with beautiful views of the river. There is so much for kids to do — our ten-year-old twins stayed busy all day every day with the treehouse, slide, trampoline, swimming off the dock, tree swing, crab traps, and the many board games and puzzles provided. One of the things we love most about staying here is that there’s so much to keep the kids happily entertained, giving us parents time to relax by the firepit and truly unwind. The home is thoughtfully stocked with anything you might need, and Landon is always a pleasure to work with — friendly, responsive, and communicative. We already have our summer trip booked and can't wait to return!

I stayed here with my three kids for a little getaway, and we had the best time. The place was super clean and spacious, and the modern decor and finishes were clearly chosen with care—it just felt really good to be there. The game rooms were such a fun touch, each with its own theme, and the kids were obsessed! One of our favorite parts was the scavenger hunt—it was such a fun and unexpected surprise, and it gave us a memory we’ll definitely hold onto. The host was incredibly kind, polite, and respectful. Overall, it was just a great experience and a really special trip with my kids.

We couldn't have loved our stay more! This was the perfect getaway for our family of four. The location was peaceful and you can't beat the view from the deck. Highly recommend!

Our large group of friends had a blast this past weekend. The house feels roomy and spacious. Best of all, it is a perfect balance of beauty and functionality, stylish yet relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped and well laid out, easily accommodated the enthusiastic cooking, prepping, and clean up crews working together easily. Long dinning table and cushy sofa comfortably seats all of us without feeling crowded. Plenty of space in and around the house that accommodate for all of us together, and apart, for activities but also able to step away for some privacy when needed. We enjoyed sunset on the balcony, and yoga in the open area upstairs. We caught crabs off the dock, spotted dolphins, and kayaked out into the sunset. We had so much fun at the Red Roof Cottage and can’t wait to go back for another visit!

This tiny house was incredibly cute and comfortable. I spent three nights, mostly just listening to the birds and the river (and, on one night, the howling wind). Sunsets were breathtaking. and Laurie lent me a kayak so I could go explore the marsh just upstream. It was a wonderful, peaceful retreat.

This is a wonderful place to stay! Our entire purpose of this weekend getaway was to relax and enjoy the surroundings and we came to the perfect place- Being on the water is so peaceful and relaxing. We also enjoyed the hot tub and watching the sunrise. The dock was nice for relaxing and some fishing. The home is decorated nicely with everything you need. Thank you Brittany ! We hope to come back again
